Suss says the first thing to do is make sure you have 2020 party supplies, such as glasses, horn blowers, tiaras and hats.

"One tip, though, is I really wouldn't get the confetti because it will take you forever [to clean up]," she said.

For refreshments, Suss suggests setting up a "bubbly bar" with champagne or sparkling cider in stemless flutes, plus a tray of various fruits so guests can customize their own drinks.

If you want to set out a cheese platter, Suss says get three to five different cheeses, then add nuts or dried fruit.

Another fun idea is to make a paper or cardboard frame for guests to take selfies.
